Failure to Initiate Antiretroviral Therapy, Loss to Follow-up and Mortality Among HIV-Infected Patients During the Pre-ART Period in Uganda

Abstract

Using a sampling-based approach to account for losses to follow-up revealed that both the speed and the completeness of ART initiation were suboptimal in a prototypical large clinic in Uganda. Improving the kinetics of ART initiation in Africa is needed to make ART more in real-world populations.
